I like this rundown better...

Agreed, if the bandwidth is better than bad it's way better, also, Wayland support.
Serenity, Wash. (too soon ? :)
Agreed, and the chance of it backfiring on them is indeed pleasingly high. If the compute moat for initial training gets lower (e.g. trinary/binary models) or distributed training (Hivemind etc) takes off, or both, or something new, all bets are off.
Oh hell no to subscribing, thought didn't cross my mind. Save us from MBAs with revenue streams on their mind, wannabe rentiers.
They're talking about a Trackball mouse e.g., not the pre laser mice (or they're nuts). Good ergonomics, useful for carpal tunnel etc.
FWIW I've found their high-end mice pretty robust, my MX Master 2 is still going strong 5+ years in, if cosmetically challenged. Amortised over time, the price is not so bad.
Please let local, open equivalents be available (see LocalAI for an example of not being far off) before this. The sheer scale of data harvesting this will enable boggles the mind.
Ditto on the hate, technical, but important distinction here, they support open-weight ML. They do not release training source code or data sets to actually make your own (granted you'd need millions in video cards to do it, but still). Open-source gets thrown around a lot in AI, presumably virtue signalling, but precious few walk the walk.
Never underestimate the value of getting hordes of unpaid workers to refine your product. (See also React, others)
Or violence, which is justified self-defense when tyrants are trying to destroy everyone’s property rights.
Valid option. Burn it all down and start again is always possible, and probably more efficient than fixing things at this point.
I'm not American either, but law precedents are contagious, once enough judges think it's reasonable, others start to as well, even across borders. A lot of the world runs on Scottish common law at base. If you really want to get to root causes, I'd go with greed, the tendency of the rich to seek rent, and Late Stage Capitalism.
The original idiocy here is the DMCA, this and the other idiocies practised in its name are consequences. Over time the idiocies build up as case law precedents until new and ever more egregious cases are made, some of which stick (as in throw shit at the wall and see what sticks) and the cycle continues. Eventually the only way to root it out becomes new legislation.
Basically depends on if it's legal to unilaterally record in your jurisdiction, if not the apps won't be made available on pain of lawsuit. Nothing stopping you using speakerphone and recording with something else tho. Again, depending on jurisdiction, you may need to CYA with 'your calls may be recorded for training purpose'. Note that unilaterally recording (i.e. without notifying the other party) is often a felony.
